Monday. Three will be $500 tons put
up. There is also room containing
machinery for grinding feed for the
cattle and hogs. Men who iiaye had
experience with such establishments,
and who have visited this one say that
1t is the most complete and best arran-
ged they have ever seen. The establish
ment is capable of killing 200 per day, if
necessary. -Oelrichs Times "a.
J. J. Cairnes, business manager Of the
above named institution came up on the
train yesterday to interview the butchers
and dealers in meats Of the gulch towns.
He thinks he can make it an object for
them 20 deal with his company for the
coming winter at least.
The plant at Olerichs is all complete and
ready to start up with capacity of 200
beeves a day, if that number should be
requi red. They have now on hand and
are feeding grain and hay to them, 900
head of steers.
They will also kill, dress and cure hogs,
turning them into bacon, ham picked
meats, lard, etc.-Deadwoo Times.

Iron Hill Statement.

The much delayed statement Of the
Iron Hill company, which was not re-
ceived in time for publication, or review
in our issue of last week, came at last,
and may be termed veritable surprise
package, inasmuch as, contrary TO all
expectation, the bonanza company's
exchequer was found to be previously
depressed; there being barely $347.04
on hand, while the general impression
prevailed that the strong box contained
a surplus, many times that amount The
situation is however explained in the
fact, that a large amount Of supplies
have recently been purchased, which are
said to be ample in quantity to meet the
requirements of the mine for six months
to come. The statement covers a period
of six months, from June lith to Dec.
18th, 1887. The profits arising from the
operation of the smelter is stated at
S85, ,359.S6. or 4,226.64 per month,
which would give a return of interest
on the stock of more than % per cent
per annum, upon basis of S3 per share
The total product Of the mine Is stated
at S594 1866.
Total amount Of dividends declared,
1886, ,250.
Total amount dsbursed, in the pur-
chase of property, material, labor, ma
chinery and buildings, S43S 800 80.
The secretary refers to the refreshing
fact, Of all extraordinary expenditures
being at an end, and that in the future
nothing but the ordinary expenses
incident to mining and reducing the
ores will be incurred. The mine is said
TO be in better condition, and more
valuable to-day, Notwithstanding the
great depreciation in the market value
of the stock, than it has ever been be-
fore, and on the whole, it may be
considered fairly safe canclusion, that
the mine Will be operated with large
profit for many years to. come.

More Tin News.

G.. J. Wheelock and Tom Baker came
down from Harvey yesterday, and gave
their opinion of tin prospects. The frs
mentioned gentleman stated in genera
sort ofa way that things are rushing
around the Harney tin properties, anc
that large amount Of assessment work
is being done on the different claims
The locations are being carefully looked
up so as to prevent litigation in the
future.
The mill on the Tin Mountain property,
eie3at miles from Custer, is nearly coma
pleted, and the managers are sanguine
that they will be shipping tin inside Of a
few months. The Tin Mountain com
pany is composed largely of Chicago
capitalists, among others being Reed,
Murdoch & Fisher, well dnown in Rapid
City through their accomplished sales
man Frank c. Berry. The Tin Moun-
tain will do much to give Custer City a
sendoH. Republican %.

January Weather.

If the predictions Of Prof. Foster
prove correct. the weather during the
month Of January will be as follows:
The first seven days will be full OF
buster storms and changes from cold
to warm weather, And average much
warmer than the last week in Decem-
Der. The principal force of these storm
will reach the river about the lst, 9Th
and 7th. The other storm dates will be
about the 18th, 18th, 25th and Both
The changes from warm to cold, and
the reverse, will be sudden and sharp
from the 18th to the 9th. The weather
will be less changeable between the Sth
and 18th and after the 9th. WeeXpect
quite warm weather about the 5th and
7th. with cold reaction during the
week following"

Oelrichs Abbattoin.

The tracks for running the dressed
beeves into the cooling room. hosting
apparatus, dead pens, etc, are all COM
pleted, have been tested. and found to
work satisfactorily, and slaughtering will
begin next Tuesday. The establishment
opens very auspiciously, there being
orders from the leading dealers of Cha
dron, and of the Hills towns. Mr.. Ro-
gers and Mr. Cairnes are now in the
Hills making arrangements with the
butchers of Deadwood, Lead, Sturgis,
Rapid, and other cities of the Hills,
to furnish them meats at cheaper rates
and of better quality than they have
ever received before.
In this connection it might not be
amiss to give the size Of some Of the
rooms of the immense building. First
largest is the sausage room 93x20
feet, containing three large sausage
mills, run by steam, Adjoining the
sausage room is the slaughtering room,
SlLC AOAcp, WuCIC VIC dt =
slaughtered In this room are the
tracks and hosting apparatus for runn-
ing the beeves into the cooling room.
The cooling room opens from the
slaughtering room, is 30x46, and is built
on a plan patented by Mr.. d. A. Stevens,
of Toledo, Ohio, who supplied all the
machinery for the establishment. 1t is
fitted up for 200 dressed beeves. In
the engine room there are two engines
which furnish the motive power for the
establishment, steam for heating the
tanks in which lard and tallow are
rendered and steam pumps, which in
case of fire are capable of throwing
water to any part of the building, and
are also used for cleaning out the differ
ent rooms. There ice houses have been
built, each 24xS0 feet, and the work of
filling them with ice will be commenced

McGillicuddy Viudicated.

The secretary of the interior has been
notified by Sigourney Butler, second
controller of the currency, that the ac-
counts of DR.. V. T. McGillicuddy, late
agent at Pine Ridge, had been thorough
ly examined and found correct, and that
DR.. McGilicuddy was indebted to the
government in the sum or $l29.57, dis
allowed items. For several years a
merciless warfare against the doctor has
been carried on by VARIOUS cranks and
interested parties in Washington, and
missioner of Indian affairs, Upshaw,
took occasion to reflect upon McGIlli-
cuddy's honesty and integrity, referring
to certain charges made by an ex-otiicial
against the ex-Indian agent. This re-
port by the controller Is considered a
complete vindication of the doctor, and
even the interior department officials
speak with the highest satisfaction of
the outcome. McGillicuddy was con
sidered the best Indian agent ever in
the service, and his removal while the
Indian office was under the domination
of Bland and his Indian defense associa
ton, was severely condemned. The
doctor resides at Rapid, is largely Inter
ested in Black Hills industries, and has
always enjoyed the esteem of the people
who extend hearty congratulations at
the final and at no time unexpected
termination of an investigation inspired
by malice, prosecuted by avowed en-
emies, and that would have DETAINED a
fair name if such were possible.

A vicious attack is made by the New
York Times upon the tin interests Of
the Black Hills. The article is copied
into the London Financial News with
a great deal of gusto, and offered to
English investors as corroborative Of
the falsehoods that paper has published
heretofore to prevent the investment Of
English capital in American tin. The
simple assertion Of the Times which is
here copied is sufficient to indicate that
that paper does not wish to learn the
truth
"The very fact that firm like Phelps,
Dodge and Company, who employ a
tirst-clas expert and are heavily in
terested in tin. has not bought any
mines is, of itself an indication that the
firm has been unable to discover any
worth buying"
This sounds suspiciously familiar.
Mr.. Dodge of this firm of Phelps Dodge
and Company, said something much
like it short time ago Mr.. Dodge is as
the Times says, interested in tin. He is
making money out oft He is perfectly
satisfied with the existing order Of
things. He does not desire the opening
Of new sources oftin supply, which
would mean more competition and the
curtailment of his share of the profits in
a great monopoly. A statement of the
Times, which Is a part of the same
article, is that if there were any tin
mines of value here there would be
plenty of American capital to develop
them. Here is another idea evidently
Dor rowed from the same Mr.. Dodge.
Indeed it is expressed in almost the
identical language in which Mr.. Dodge
recently expressed it. 1t will be re-
membered The Journal referred to it a
short time ago. The statement is sim
ply nonsensical. 1t would be as we'll to
say that if rich gold or silver mines
exist in certain district American
cspital sufficient to work them would
have taken hold of them, Yet it is we'll
known that valuable mines--lye, indeed
all the valuable mines Of whole districts
in the United States are owned controll-
ed and worked by foreign, to the utter
exclusion of American capital. Mr..
Dodge has pooh-poohed the assertions
of experienced tin men who have exa.
mined the Black Hills tin mines and dec.
Jared them good. Yet Mr.. Dodge has
never seen the mines. He has without
having attempted to learn the truth,
the wonderful assurance to say "Oh yes
there is no doubt they have indications
Of tin in the Black Hills. But you don't
suppose, if there were good mines there
that we would not have found them
long ago" Now the New York Times
echoes Mr.. Dodge. But the time when
this would have an effect has gone bv.
English men of money and experience in
tin mines know the Black Hills tin
mines are valuable. if such astute
Americans as Mr.. Dodge have not yet
learned it, The mines will be develo.
ped, and Mr.. Dodge, the Times, the
Engineering and Mining Journal and
the London Financial News will be
shown to have been working against
the up building of great, legitimate
and profta bic industry. That their
work will prove vain is as certain as
fate -Joutnal

Bltumlnous Coal.

Lackawanna is the name of the coal
fields recently located and now being
developed by Rapid City, Custer and
Hot Springs parties. The coal fields $50
far as known comprise about twelve
square miles, being situated in township
9 south Of range east Of the Black Hills
meridian. They are therefore 4S miles
south and from Is to 20 miles west Of
Radid City, and ten miles in a southwest
direction from Hot Springs.
Bucktail claim is the one upon which
the interested parties are doing the
greatest amount Of development work,
shows a six foot vein of out cropping
coal extending for more than half a mile
in width. The coal is Of bituminous
character but there are thin stratas Of a
hard bright and extremely black coal
which is believed to be anthracite. II
struck with a hammer it breaks up into
cubes and is remarkably clean. To the
south and between the coal fields and the
CHEYENNE river is wide and beautiful
stretch Of valley comprising about 5000
acres. The B. & Nj. survey crosses the
Cheyenne river from the south coming
down Cottonwood creek, and almost
touching some of the coal locations.
There is another party Of r. X. engineers
here, supposed to be Cheyenne.& North
ern people Both parties are working
like beavers which lead an outsider to
believe that they mean business.

brutal murder at Minnesota, Thursday
evening, of William Schulp, quiet, in
offensive and industrious ranchman,
living on Redwater, six miles above

in a quarrel while at cards, when the
cowboy retired, obtained six-shooter
and, returning, shot his victim three
times, one ball penetrating the brain,
another the breast, and the third the
abdomen, each infirting mortal
wound. Death was instantaneous The
cowboy fled and at last account, re-
mained at large but a sheriff's posse was
in pursuit.

Deadwood as elsewhere in this section
He was unmarried and lived alone. The
